To determine if 5132 is a prime number or a composite number, we simply look at the factors for 5132.
If the factors of 5132 are only 5132 and 1, then we know that 5132 is a prime number. Otherwise, 5132 is a composite number.
To explain better, if 5132 is only divisible by 1 and 5132, then it is a prime number, and if 5132 is divisible by more than 5132 and 1, then it is a composite number.
The factors of 5132 are as follows:
1, 2, 4, 1283, 2566, 5132
Therefore, since 5132 is divisible by more than one and itself, the answer to the
question "Is 5132 prime or composite?" is highlighted in blue below.
